  • the power generation plant 1 includes a bypass valve 15 that allows excessive steam to flow directly into the condenser 21 when the amount of the steam generated by the steam generator 16 becomes larger than the amount of the steam flowing into the turbine.
  • the bypass valve 15 controls the amount of excessive steam to be inputted from the steam generator 16 into the condenser 21.

  • An opening degree of each of the steam governing valves 13 and the intercept valves 14 is adjusted such that the turbine rotation speed becomes a predetermined value having been set by a rotation-speed setter 29 ( Fig. 2 ). Then, the amount of the steam flowing into each valve is controlled.
  • the "opening degree” may be simply referred to as the "opening".
  • the normal control circuit 11 controls the turbine rotation speed during normal operation, at the time of start, and at the time of stop.
  • the early valve actuating control circuit 12 controls opening/closing of the intercept valves 14 in priority to the control by the normal control circuit 11 when the transient event in the power system occurs.
  • the transient event in the power system is a phenomenon which occurs when, for example, an accident in which one or some of many power transmission lines extending from the power generation plant 1 is cut and grounded.
  • the transient event in the power system may refer to an event in which the voltage drops significantly for a very short time to an event in which a relatively small voltage drop occurs for a long time.
  • the transient event in the power system event here means a phenomenon in which the period from its occurrence to its restoration is 1 second or less.
  • time of the occurrence of the transient event in the power system indicates the time point at which the normal condition is switched to the transient event in the power system.
  • the term “during the occurrence of the transient event in the power system” indicates the period during which the transient event in the power system continues.
  • the restoration time of the power system from transient event indicates the time point at which the power system is switched from the transient event to the normal condition.

  • the turbine-rotation-speed detector 25 detects the rotation speed of the turbine.
  • the turbine-rotation-speed detector 25 outputs the detection signal to a deviation calculator 30.
  • the deviation calculator 30 subtracts the inputted detection signal and the speed signal having been preset in the rotation-speed setter 29, and outputs the subtracted signal to a multiplier 31.
  • the multiplier 31 obtains a speed control signal 99 by multiplying this subtracted signal by a gain (i.e., the reciprocal of the speed adjustment rate).
  • PI control may be performed only during turbine startup control.
  • an adder 33 calculates a speed load control signal 100 by adding the speed control signal 99 and the load setting value having been set by a load setter 32.
  • the speed load control signal 100 is outputted to servo valves 35 as a steam-governing-valve opening-degree command-signal 101.
  • the opening degree of the steam governing valves 13 is adjusted by changing the supply amount of control oil by the servo valves 35.

  • the bypass valve 15 is installed in order to reduce the pressure rise in the steam generator 16 or the reactor.
  • the bypass valve 15 is controlled so as to open at the time of the occurrence of the transient event, such as a sudden decrease in turbine load or a plant trip.
  • bypass-valve open permission signal 104 When the output of the bypass-valve open permission signal 104 is off, the zero output of a signal generator 44 is prioritized by a switch 45 and the bypass valve is fully closed. When a turbine-load sudden-change detection-circuit 46 determines that sudden change in the turbine load has occurred as detected by the turbine load detector 28, the bypass-valve open permission signal 104 is outputted.
  • the switch 45 controls the opening degree of the bypass valve 15 by the deviation signal of the bypass-valve control-target process calculated by a deviation calculator 43 on the basis of the setting values having been set in a process detector 41 and a process setter 42.
  • the process value to be controlled by the bypass valve 15 may be, for example, the primary cooling-system temperature and the secondary-side steam pressure.
  • the turbine rotation speed is controlled by adjusting the opening degree of the steam governing valves 13 and the intercept valves 14 on the basis of the speed load control signal 100. That is, control is performed on the basis of the speed control value that is changed in relation to the rotation speeds of the turbines 18 and 19.
  • the output of the bypass-valve open permission signal 104 is in the off state, so the switch 45 of the bypass-valve control circuit outputs zero and the bypass valve 15 becomes in the fully closed state.
  • the bypass-valve open permission signal 104 is outputted and the opening-degree control of the bypass valve 15 is started on the basis of the process value of the target of the bypass valve control.
  • the normal control circuit 11 controls the turbine rotation speed by adjusting the opening degree of each of the steam governing valves 13 and the intercept valves 14.
  • the early valve actuating control circuit 12 In the power generation plant 1 connected to the power system, in the steady state, active power is being outputted from the generator 20 so as to match the mechanical input from the high-pressure turbine 18 and the low-pressure turbine 19.
  • the transient event in which the active power to be outputted by the generator 20 decreases sharply, such as a sudden decrease in system voltage. Even if this transient event occurs, this transient event will be restored within 1 second. However, during this transient event, the turbine mechanical input exceeds the active power that can be sent to the power system. Thus, if the turbine rotation speed is increased and exceeds a certain limit, the generator 20 may goes step-out.
  • the power system side is required to continue the operation without causing the step-out. After the restoration of the power system from transient event, the system voltage required by the power system is also restored, so it is necessary to quickly recover the active power to be outputted from the generator 20 to the required value of the power system.
  • the turbine early valve actuating control is known as a method for preventing step-out and restoring active power quickly in the generator 20 when the transient event occurs in the power system.
  • a power-system transient-event detector 48 detects the transient event in the power system.
  • the intercept valves 14 for causing the steam to flow into the low-pressure turbine 19 are rapidly closed. Further, the increase in turbine rotation speed is suppressed by temporarily blocking the flow of the steam into the low-pressure turbine 19.
  • the intercept valves 14 are rapidly and fully opened to recover the active power quickly. The timing to open the intercept valves 14 rapidly does not have to coincide with the transient event reset. For example, as soon as the opening degree of the intercept valves 14 reaches 0%, they may be opened.
  • the power-system transient-event detector 48 detects the transient event in the power system and outputs the power-system transient-event detection-signal 106.
  • a steam-governing-valve opening-degree correction-command signal 107 is outputted. Thereafter, the opening-degree correction control of the steam governing valves 13 is started. The opening degree of the steam governing valves 13 is corrected so as to become close to the predetermined opening degree at the time of the occurrence of the transient event in the power system.
  • the problem of the conventional technique i.e., the event in which the opening degree of the steam governing valves 13 tends to close due to the speed control depending on the vibration of the turbine speed immediately after the transient event in the power system
  • the event in which the valves tends to close means that the opening degree of the valves continues to be lower than necessary due to difference in opening/closing speed of the valves despite the fact that both the command signal to open the valves and the command signal to close the valves are alternately transmitted after the occurrence of the transient event in the power system.
  • the amount of steam at the predetermined opening degree of the steam governing valves 13 can be supplied to the turbine, whereas the amount of steam flowing into the turbine is reduced in the conventional technique.
  • prompt response to the restoration of active power required after the restoration of the power system from the transient event can be achieved.
  • adverse effects on the steam generation side such as increase in steam pressure due to the tendency of the steam governing valves 13 to close can be avoided.
  • the opening degree of the steam governing valves 13 is corrected to the predetermined opening degree by the following method.
  • an opening-degree correction unit 110 is provided for holding the steam-governing-valve opening-degree command-signal 101 at the time of the occurrence of the transient event in the power system.
  • This opening-degree correction unit 110 includes: a switch 51 that can switch between the speed load control signal 100 and the steam-governing-valve opening-degree command-signal 101; and a signal holder 52 configured to hold the steam-governing-valve opening-degree command-signal 101, which is information indicating the opening degree of the steam governing valves 13, during normal time before the occurrence of the transient event in the power system.
  • the opening degree held in the signal holder 52 is the opening degree at the time of occurrence of the transient event in the power system
  • the switch 51 is a component for switching the opening degree of the steam governing valves 13 to the opening degree held in the signal holder 52 during the transient event in the power system.
  • the signal holder 52 is a memory that stores the value included in the steam-governing-valve opening-degree command-signal 101.
  • the opening degree at the time of the occurrence of the transient event in the power system is held in the signal holder 52.
  • the opening degree of the steam governing valves 13 can be maintained at the opening degree at the time of the occurrence of the transient event in the power system on the basis of the opening degree held in the signal holder 52.
  • the switch 51 When the steam-governing-valve opening-degree correction-command signal 107 is off, the switch 51 outputs the speed load control signal 100 normally. When the steam-governing-valve opening-degree correction-command signal 107 is on, the value at the time of the occurrence of the transient event in the power system held in the signal holder 52 is outputted as the steam-governing-valve opening-degree command-signal 101.
  • a steam-governing-valve opening-degree correction-command reset signal 108 is outputted from the steam-governing-valve opening-degree correction control reset circuit 60 and the output of the steam-governing-valve opening-degree correction-command signal 107 is turned off.
  • the reset of the steam-governing-valve opening-degree correction control is performed by the steam-governing-valve opening-degree correction control reset circuit 60 as shown in Fig. 2 .
  • the steam-governing-valve opening-degree correction control is continued until the vibration of the turbine rotation speed is settled, as one aspect of the reset condition of the steam-governing-valve opening-degree correction-command signal 107, there is a conceivable method in which the power-system transient-event detection-signal 106 is turned off and the steam-governing-valve opening-degree correction-command reset signal 108 is outputted after determining settling of the turbine speed.
  • a method for detecting the settling of the turbine speed for example, it is conceivable to: perform threshold determination of the peak value of damping vibration due to the transient event of turbine speed; determine whether the peak value is no longer observed or not; and perform threshold determination of deviation of the absolute value of vibration per unit time.
  • the steam governing valve opening-degree correction control is switched to the normal control during vibration of the turbine rotation speed, the steam governing valves 13 may tend to close.
  • the steam governing valve opening-degree correction control is reset after settling the vibration of the turbine rotation speed, which avoids the event that the steam governing valve 13 tends to close, and thus the decrease in steam amount available at the time of restoration of the active power can be avoided.
  • the maintenance of the opening degree of the steam governing valves 13 by the opening-degree correction unit 110 is completed when both of the restoration of the power system from the transient event and the settling of the rotation speeds of the steam turbines 18 and 19 are fulfilled.

  • the intercept valves 14 are rapidly closed ( Fig. 3G ). Although the turbine speed once rises due to the occurrence of the transient event in the power system, the turbine speed begins to fall because steam is not supplied to the low-pressure turbine due to the rapid closure of the intercept valves 14. Further, though the intercept valves 14 are closed, the turbine speed vibrate so as to converge to the rated output ( Fig. 3C ) because the power system is restored from the transient event and the load is returned. Note that the pressure of the moisture separation heaters 17 temporarily rises due to the closing of the intercept valves 14.
  • the steam-governing-valve opening-degree correction-command signal 107 is outputted, and thus the speed load control signal 100 ( Fig. 3 D) in accordance with the vibration of the turbine rotation speed is excluded from the input of the steam-governing-valve opening-degree command-signal 101.

  • T1 indicates the time point at which the transient event in the power system occurs and T2 indicates the time point at which the power system is restored from the transient event.
  • the early valve actuating control circuit 12 When the transient event in the power system occurs at T1, the early valve actuating control circuit 12 operates so as to rapidly close the intercept valves 14 ( Fig. 13E ). At this time, the amount of the steam flowing into the low-pressure turbine 19 is temporarily greatly reduced.
  • the opening-degree control based on the steam-governing-valve opening-degree command-signal 101 is continued for the steam governing valves 13, similarly to the normal control.
  • the opening-degree control of the steam governing valves 13 is performed on the basis of the speed load control signal 100 and the steam-governing-valve opening-degree command-signal 101 ( Fig. 13C ) according to the turbine rotation speed.
  • the bypass-valve open permission signal 104 is outputted and the bypass valve 15 is opened ( Fig. 13F and Fig. 13G ), which causes the steam before entering the high-pressure turbine 18 to flow out to the condenser 21.
  • the bypass valve 15 is designed to be opened rapidly.
  • increase in flow rate by opening the bypass valve 15 is larger than decrease in flow rate by closing the steam governing valves 13.
  • the amount of the steam flowing out from the steam generator 16 increases and the pressure of the steam generator 16 decreases ( Fig. 13H ). This reduces the amount of the steam flowing into the high-pressure turbine 18 at the time of the restoration of the power plant from the transient event (T2). Consequently, the output of active power cannot be maintained after the restoration of the power system from the transient event.
